THE HUNGARIAN DHAULAGIRI EXPEDITION 2006.

13th April: 5 out of the 6-man-team left Budapest, to join
Zsolt Erőss in Kathmandu who had already done some preparations for the
expedition. They want to get to the top of Dhaulagiri, the seventh highest
mountain on the world. This journey is the seventh step of the ’Hungarians
on the world’s 8000ers’ project, with the aim, to get Hungarian climbers to
the summit of the Earth’s 14 highest peaks.

15th April: The team is already in Kathmandu, but because of
the political situation, they can not travel further. The roads are closed,
the situation is near revolutionary. The temperature is comfortable, perfect
for doing the remaining administration and collect information of other
expeditions.

16th April: The situation is worse and worse… The King is
not able to find compromise with the leaders of the local parties and
thousands of people came out to the streets to demonstrate against the king.
The Nepalese Army can handle the situation, but our opportunity to get to
Pokhara is collapsing. The team should travel by helicopter but this is the
last possibility because of the lack of founds.

17th April: The king has hung up the functioning of the
parties. The maoists appeared, making the demonstrations more aggressive.
There are fights between the army and the demonstrating people, even some
death are pulished too! Despite all things, probably the team can leave
Kathmandu when the road blockings finish.

18th April: It seems the blockade will finish nearly,
because the people suffering starvation, and then the Hungarian expedition
can leave the capital. A local sherpa, our cook will accompany them.

20th April: The members of the Dhaulagiri expedition had
recieved a SMS from Dávid Klein, who is currently in Mount Everest Base Camp
with Joby Ogwyn (his goal is to became the first Hungarian who climbs the
Mount Everest without oxygenbottle), but there are
some bad news: they had to turn back because of the extreme weather
conditions.

23rd April: The team has left Kathmandu by plane and will
travel forward by jeeps from Pokhara towards Beni. This means the journey
will become more epensive as it was planned before. A sherpa leader told
them, he would help them getting to the Base Camp all the way, so it seems
to be solved.

25th April: The expeditors flown to Pokhara with the
sherpas, but do not want to rest a lot, because they want to benefit from
the quite peaceful days and leave the city as fast as they can. From Beni
they would like to reach the base camp within 6-7 days, so they have to
hurry up.
